Tutorial exercise: (Calling all Noobs)

#81

There really aren’t any rules. Just a bunch of folks doing the same tutorial and helping each other with it.

#82

Exactly … There are no Rules but we will probably move on to another tutorial after this one several of seem to be enjoying it. :thumbsup:

#83

Aite, hope it is rate at G, lol

#84

This is a great idea!!
here is how far I am - and I just started this morning. I’m having some trouble cutting the faces on my model - it just basically gives random sides on my model - can someone explain this in more detail for me please? Thanks!

#85

Illustrain can you be a little more specific about "random sides " ? and we may be able to help a bit .

#86

Hey, I’m new here, and I’m on board with this tut. Stygian introduced me to this awesome board, and I just wanted to say hi!

#87

Hey Ppl,
Like the most off you I’m also very new in 3D.
This is a great idea!!! (:thumbsup: for the topic starter)
Just saw this thread yesterday but wish I found it earlier, that could save alot off wasted hours trying to figure out some stuff.
I’m doing this tutorial for awhile now and so far I’m about done with the modeling job, except the hair I still have to do that but started on that and thought it was not good enough so deledet it. Now I’m at the point to start with texturing my girl

How can I put an image in my posts? Do I need a website to do that?

Count me in :arteest:

when hitting the reply-button, just search for “attach file”, browse your hd (it has to be less than 40kb) for your pic and that’s it.
hope to see it soon :bounce:

#89

Let’s see if it will work

#90

Yep, it worked :slight_smile:

But now I see more things I still have to work on. Not only the hair but I’m also not satisfied about the clothes, gloves, shoes … “well, hey, lets start over again” :hmm:

#91

Hey that’s the spirit Emig never settle always strive for perfection and you’ll always improve.

@fleedawg : Welcome !!!

#92

heya… i’ve been quietly following you guys for past couple of posts… now I have a question now :smiley: Umm was I supposed to work on the left side or one side at least the whole time and copy the opposite side to keep consistancy or work on both sides at the same time? I did that to the hips and worked on the body as a whole on the way up… and also… my body isn’t as smooth as the tutorial as I have not put in the meshsmooth function yet… is it ok if i apply that at the end?

#93

I don’t see a problem with adding it later, however, you just may have to go back later and change a few things that you may have caught sooner if you had been using it the whole time. I’ve finaly just started working on it again and have had to turn plenty of edges and even do some surgery on some excess vertex I accidently left within the model. Mainly on the foot…I was sloppy -_-

Moving on nicely now =)

As for your other question, you proably should have mirrored it at about the same time you started touching the other side of the hip.

#94

Hey themike Welcome to our execise. Yeah you can add the meshsmooth at the end but like blazesquall said your gonna find all kindsa crap when you add it . One thing I found when I was doing it that way was though even though I thought the proportions looked good before the meshsmooth was applied my model’s features were too understated once I applied the smooth . :wavey:

#95

Hey guys, I sorta caught this thread a wee bit late.

I’m starting on the leg now. But I already have 2 problems.

  1. My “see-through” effect doesn’t look like it shows on the tut. I get a “translucent-gray” shade. I can see through it, but i can’t see the edges and it’s not colored.

  2. I can’ t seem to get the cut tool to work correctly.

ps. is this guy giving me the finger?:shame:

#96

Trion, I was having the same problem, I just couldn’t really understand cutting. You can change the color in the tab where you can name the object, there is a little box next to it where you can change the color of the object (sorry, I can’t explain it better).

#97

I know how to change the color of objects. I just can’t quiet get the “see-through” to work correctly. I could have the object as a yellow color, but when I tick “see through” the object is appears below.

#98

Ahh, sorry man I’m not sure about that. I just use the grey - I think it contrasts the blue alright, I can see the points fine in the screenshot. Anyone else know?

#99

when you toggle see through it will always be that grayish color no matter what color you have the object set to. If you need to see your edge lines the toggle is F4 on the pc version .

@trion-5 I think he is giving you the finger :shame: but apparenlty he is giving me the finger too :shame:

You could also give it a material with 50% opacity…
